Stuttgart/Karlsruhe (ots) – How geoinformation is revolutionizing global industries at INTERGEO 2024
From September 24th to 26th, 2024, Messe Stuttgart will become the vibrant center of the geospatial community. INTERGEO, the world’s leading event for geodesy, geoinformation and land management, brings together experts and visionaries from all over the world. With 600 international brands, industry leaders, associations and startups, INTERGEO underlines its position as number one in the geospatial community and promotes exchange between these players in order to network, cooperate and work together to shape the future. As an international platform, INTERGEO offers a global perspective and promotes collaboration across borders in order to fully exploit the potential of geoinformation technologies and respond together to global challenges.
From planning to forecasting: geoinformation as a driving force
Geoinformation is the invisible engine that drives modern society and provides solutions to global challenges. From the development of smart cities and sustainable agriculture to efficient environmental management – the technologies and applications presented at INTERGEO 2024 are diverse and clearly show that geospatial data and its applications and tools are not only in traditional areas such as navigation and mapping are crucial. They are also key to innovative solutions to manage cross-sector challenges such as climate change, urban expansion and resource management.
INTERGEO 2024 shows how geoinformation technologies drive innovation in numerous areas. In addition to the core areas, the expo and conference cover a wide range of topics, including BIM, earth observation, digital twins, maritime solutions and current developments in the drone market.
Highlights and innovations
The geospatial industry plays a critical role in a variety of industries – from urban planners to climate researchers to agriculture. INTERGEO 2024 offers a platform for the exchange and presentation of innovations that form the basis for future-oriented solutions in administration, business and science.
Innovative technologies such as high-precision lidar systems for drones and multi-band aerial camera systems with thermography capabilities will drive development in the geospatial information industry. INTERGEO in Stuttgart also emphasizes the synergy between geodata and the digital construction industry, particularly through the integration of BIM processes. The BIM Days Germany will once again take place as an integrated event. In the conference and on a separate BIM stage in the expo, the growing synergy between geodesy and the digital construction industry, such as integration into BIM processes and sustainable, CO2-neutral construction, renovation and maintenance, will be highlighted on all three event days.
Earth Observation – Focus on earth observation
The aim of INTERGEO 2024 is to become the leading international event in the field of earth observation. The importance of earth observation for various applications – from climate research to urbanization processes to agriculture – is immense. A key focus is the use of Earth observation data to support sustainable developments and address global challenges such as climate change. In the face of extreme weather events, biodiversity loss and urbanization pressure, Earth observation data provides essential information for efficient adaptation and mitigation strategies.
The innovative Earth observation technologies presented at INTERGEO 2024 are crucial for understanding and monitoring climate phenomena. High-resolution satellite images and advanced analysis methods make it possible to precisely document and analyze changes in ecosystems, sea levels and glacier melting. This information is essential for developing climate adaptation strategies and reducing CO2 emissions. The INTERGEO Conference will include sessions on topics such as “Earth Observation for Managing the Green Transition” and “From Climate Change to Climate Adaptation – Consequences and Actions”, highlighting the essential role of Earth Observation in modern society. A keynote on the topic “Earth Observation for our World in Change” addresses the current challenges and solutions in the field of Earth observation.
As technologies advance and Earth observation data becomes more available, its relevance in the commercial landscape will continue to grow, opening up new business opportunities and helping to solve global challenges. According to current data from market research company Euroconsult, numerous new countries are entering the satellite manufacturing industry scene. Over the next decade, over 3,500 EO satellites will be launched, generating nearly $98 billion in revenue, almost triple the number of launches between 2012 and 2021, representing 23% market value growth.

Partnerships for a sustainable future
Strategic partnerships play an essential role in the field of Earth observation. The collaborations of the INTERGEO organizer DVW eV – Society for Geodesy, Geoinformation and Land Management with leading organizations such as the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the European Space Agency (ESA) underline the importance of international cooperation and the common pursuit to further develop earth observation. These partnerships help push the boundaries of technology and leverage its applications for a sustainable future.
The world as a unit: connecting geodata
A living mosaic will be created in the halls of Messe Stuttgart in September 2024: around 17,000 expected participants from all over the world will transform INTERGEO into a global center of geoinnovation, where the international community of geospatial experts will come together to shape the world of tomorrow.
INTERGEO 2024 not only brings the international community together: it shows how global exchange can lead to local changes. From urban planning inspired by international best practices to climate change projects based on global data, the event highlights that the answers to local questions are often found in global dialogue.
The event offers a unique opportunity to gain insights into the future of geoinformation and earth observation and to set the course for the coming years. It invites the global community to become part of a movement that is shaping a sustainable future through innovation, technology and knowledge sharing.
